1T is guaranteed to every citizen that
justice shall be delayed to no one. Prompt
execution of the law and melting out full
justice will do more to prevent ynching

the punishment is made to fit the crime

lated law comes from Richmond county
A negro named Archibald Martin shot an
other negro, the 18th of May. He was
tried on the 10th of June. He was SEN
fenced by Judge Clark to be hung on the
18th of July.
The CHRONICLE doesn't believe in light

knows that the only way to prevent crime
is to make violators know that swift and
merited punishment will follow evil doers
This knowledge Judge Clark impresses in
a way that people cannot forget.

HOTEL BURNED,
Inc Hotel Del Monte at Monterey, Cal,
reduced to Ashes-The Guests Escape
Uninjured-ueavy Loss.

SAN FRANCISCO, April ..
Immediately upon receipt of the news of
the burning of the Hotel Del Monte at Mon
terry this morning, the Southern Pacific com.
pany made prompt srrsngeme ITS to bring the
guests to this city. The FIRST train load ar
rived at so A. NJ, and numbered sbout
Zoo. The scene presented 10 the richly fur
nlshed coaches of scsntily clad ladies' with
disheveled hair and frightened looks WAS
peculiar one. Another train load arrived
an hour later bringing the remainder of the
guerts. Friends and relatives were at the
depot to meet them. Some carried bundles
., necessary articles OF wearing apparel with
which to envelope the forms of those upfor
tunates who had been compelled TO leave the
MOTEL without ceremony, while others were
present TO assure themselves that their rel..
hves and friends had escaped unharmed.
When the train pulled into the station there
was rush tor the platforms of the ears. and
as the half clad passengers stepped of they
found themselves in the arms of the anxious
watchers, some of whom were hysterical IN
their congratulations. For about five min.
utes there was a general hand shaking and
embracing and the tired tourists were then
hurried to waiting hacks and barouches TO be
taken TO the hotels. great number sought
refuge at the Palace Hotel but as that build.
ing was already crowded to its utmost capac-
y, the untortunstes found it impossible in
many cases TO arrange for rooms and were
oollged to seek quarters in other hotels and
boarding houses. The majority of the ladies
were wrapped in blankets with walls and
scarfs about their heaes and slippers on their
feet. Those guests who lost all their money
by the fire were notified today by the manager
OF the Palace Hotel that they might draw on
MN for such funds as were necessary to pro.
vide them with proper clothing, and this
evening they were feeling comfortable.
The fre was discovered Is minutes before
the alarm was given. Ten minutes later
the last guest was out of she house Most of
the baggage of the guests was in the annex,
which was the last part of the building to
catch fire, and nearly all of it was saved; but
much baggage in the main building was lost
Almost everything in the safe was saved. In
less than half an hOnr the huge building was
enveloped in flames, and within three hours
was totally consumed, the only vestige re-
naming being the brick chimneys. The total
loss, including the losses of the guests, will
probably reach a milliol and IA half dollars
The only guest who was injured was Capt
Scott, Boston capitalist. who burned his
hands in too rapidly descending a rope from
a window.

OBITUARY..
Death OF Joseph II. Bradley, a Noted
Criminal Lawyer.

WASHINGTON, April 3.
Joseph II. Bradley died in West Washing
ton this afternoon, aged S4 years. His ia.
ther, Abraham Bradley, of Connecticut. was
first assistant postmaster general under all
the presidential administrations from Wash
ington down to Jackson. Joseph Bradley
was graduated at Yale in 1921 and was ad :
mitted to the bar in 1924 Since then he has
conducted many of the most celebrated cases
in the District, including the trial of John
II. Surrall, after Lincolns assination.
The jury having reported disagreement in
the case, the presiding justice, Judge Fisher,
dsbarred Bradley from practice before the
bar of the District for disloyalty to the gov
ernment Bradley challenged the judge to
duel, but was unnoticed. He was not rein
stated for five or six years afterwards. He
was counsel for young woman named Mary
Harris, who shot ana killed a treasury clerk
named Barrows. Bradley set up the defense
that Barrows had offered to marry Miss
Harris, but afterwards desiring to wed su
other, had decoyed her into house of i'll
fame, from which she escaped on learning its
character, just in time TO prevent her ruin.
The trial resulted in an acquttal and then
the defendant and her counsel were married.

New Workers to Build a Yacht to De.

New YORK, April 2

New YORK, April Q
1t was authoritivelv stated yesterday at the
New York Yacht Club that a syndicate of its
members had been formed to onild yacht to
compete with the Boston boats for the honor
of sailing against the Scotch cutter Thistle
in Octhber next in defence of Americas cup.
No one at the club appeared to think there
would be any difficulty in beating the Thistle
but they did not seem to relish the fact that
she must be beaten by Boston boat as the
Genesta and Gslates had been.
The new yacht is therefore to be built to
sail against the Mayhower and Puritan rather
than against the Thistle. She is to be de-
signed by New York man and is to be built
in this city or its immediate neghborhood
Models are to be invited and an effort is to be
made to turn out a sloop in New York su-
perior to anything foated.
1t is probable that Mr.. A. Gary Smith will
be the successful designer and that the new
sloop will be of steel and built at City Island

all he need do is TO grease his face be-

have TO take the skin off before he

the cork Is simple. The property man
puts his corks in pan, ponrs little
alcohol over them. lights the alcohol,
and the heat does the rest A little
rubbing between the hands smoothes

another way 10 take out the grit. which
is 10 drop the burnt cork into tub of
